Frequently Asked Questions - Tampa Bay Screams

2025 will mark our 10th ANNIVERSARY!  Tampa Bay Screams is the longest-running continuous horror convention in Tampa Bay.  A con by fans for fans of grindhouse, drive-in, arthouse, cult classics, and midnight movie cinema and pop culture.  Fans come from Florida, the U.S. and around the world to celebrate horror, sci-fi & sword & sorcery, shop our Dealer’s Dungeon, and meet the celebrities who made fright films great.  We are known for our "old school" interpersonal conventions, Scream Queens, Horror Hosts, Indie Filmmakers, Authors, and Artists, and Exploitation.

Yes.  In 2023 Tampa Bay Screams creator and filmmaker Sean Donohue announced that the con was under new ownership.  But not to fear: like Sean, we are horror and cult movie superfans based in Tampa Bay and Florida who are filmmakers, fans, and event organizers.  We are one of you.  Sean will continue with us as a friend, trusted advisor, and will always be acknowledged as the con creator.  Look for Sean at our upcoming Tampa Bay Screams convention!
